Cleveland spent a lot of money to appease LeBron and keep its roster together last season, and the Cavs’ massive luxury tax bill paid off in one of the greatest Finals victories in NBA history.
上个赛季，克利夫兰花了一大笔钱留下詹姆斯，保持住了原有的阵容，而骑士队巨额的奢侈税也得到了应有的回报，他们获得了堪称NBA历史上最伟大的总决赛胜利之一。
While the Cavaliers will always be favorites to win the East with LeBron, they were (extremely low whisper) slightly lucky to win the Finals against the 73-win Warriors, and Golden State is now much better with the addition of Kevin Durant.
尽管拥有勒布朗的骑士队一直都是东部冠军的最大热门，但说实话（嘘！小声点）面对这支73胜勇士，他们总决赛的胜利带有一点点幸运的成分，而本赛季杜兰特的加入，使勇士变得更为强大。
Cleveland couldn’t exactly make a corresponding move in the summer, so will they try during the season? The Finals win obscured how much of a circus Cleveland’s regular season was, when LeBron openly subtweeted Kevin Love, who rode the bench for many fourth quarters.
而克利夫兰并没有在这个夏天做出相应的交易或签约，所以赛季中期他们会有这样的大动作吗？总决赛的胜利掩盖了骑士队常规赛的些许混乱。当时勒布朗还曾在推特暗讽凯文-乐福，后者在很多比赛的第四节被放在板凳上。
The Cavs could have some struggles again this year, particularly amid complacency and LeBron’s general disregard for the regular season.
今年，骑士队可能还会经历相似的挣扎阶段，这里可能包含了夺冠的自满以及勒布朗一直以来对常规赛的不重视。
My gut tells me Love is going to find himself in trade rumors again this season, and Cleveland should heavily consider moving him for multiple players who improve the flexibility and depth of the roster.
我的直觉告诉我，这个赛季乐福又要发现自己身处交易流言中了，克利夫兰真的应该深入考虑下，用他换来几名能够提高球队灵活度和阵容深度的球员。
Love’s late defensive stand against Stephen Curry aside, he wasn’t a huge difference maker during the Finals. Attacking Golden State with depth could ultimately be the Cavs’ best chance at a repeat. (Having LeBron helps as well, of course.)
除了最后时刻面对斯蒂芬-库里的成功防守，乐福在总决赛中并没有起到应有的作用。要知道，用阵容深度来拖垮勇士基本上是再次击败勇士最好的方法。
